EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
To receive full credit for this course, students are expected to attend and participate in all scheduled rotation activities; arrive on time; and remain until required activities have been completed or they are dismissed by their preceptor. It is expected that students will come to the rotation site with an open mind and respectful demeanor.
Student preparedness for topic discussions, patient case discussions, etc. is a critical element in this course.
The faculty and staff consider the preceptor-student relationship as collegial and respectful. As more experienced, professional colleagues, preceptors generally view themselves as mentors in the student’s professional development. Students should expect preceptors to communicate expectations and instructions clearly and concisely. Students should also expect preceptors to provide them with relevant resources, activities, experiences and feedback to facilitate success in the curriculum and in practice. Preceptors are fully committed to fulfilling this responsibility and will work to ensure that each student has the opportunity to be successful. In return, preceptors expect students to behave in a professional, responsible, and ethical manner; demonstrate a positive attitude, enthusiasm for learning, and respect for themselves and others; be prepared for each session; be flexible and be accountable for their assigned responsibilities.
OFFICE OF EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION AND SITE SPECIFIC POLICIES Students and preceptors are expected to comply with the OEE policies and procedures published in the Experiential Education Manual at http://faopharmacy.unc.edu/student-admin/oee/manual/. Preceptors may
require and/or recommend additional site specific policies for their rotations. Students are expected to communicate with the preceptor regarding such requirements prior to the rotation start date. Site specific forms and requirements may be listed for individual sites in RxPreceptor.
SPECIAL NEEDS The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all
persons with documented disabilities or accessibility concerns in accordance with Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. If you have a medical condition,
disability, or accessibility concern that may impact your ability to meet the academic demands or
requirements of the course, please contact the appropriate office on your campus. Students are required to
self-identify for disability/accessibility support.
Chapel Hill based students, contact Accessibility Resources and Services in person at the Student
and Academic Services Building (SASB) Suite 2126, by email at [email protected] or via their
website at http://accessibility.unc.edu.
Asheville based students, please contact Disability Services in person at 258 Brown Hall, by phone
at (828) 232-5050, or by email at [email protected].
STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND ASSIGNMENTS Students will work with preceptors to complete activities and assignments which will enable them to accomplish the objectives by the end of the rotation. Student projects are to be detailed by the preceptor, but it is expected that during the rotation the student will complete at least one formal presentation, one journal club style presentation and one patient care presentation. Several disease state and/or drug discussions that are student and/or preceptor led should also be conducted.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUIRED ASSIGNMENTS/PROJECTS See preceptor’s abbreviated syllabus.
LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY All assignments must be submitted by the designated deadline. Ramifications for late assignments will be at the discretion of the preceptor.
ASSESSMENT AND GRADING The student will be assessed by the preceptor on performance and professionalism at the midpoint and at the end of the rotation. Please see experiential course assessment tools at the end of the syllabus. The
4
midpoint evaluation will NOT be used in the calculation of the student’s grade however it will provide a basis for feedback regarding the student’s progress, including action items where necessary for the rest of the rotation. Additionally, it is the student’s responsibility to assure a midpoint evaluation is completed by the preceptor. Within one week of rotation midpoint, students not receiving a midpoint evaluation that is documented in RxPreceptor should notify the Office of Experiential Education. Grading Scale: Honors: 93.0 - 100% Pass: 70.0 – 92.9% Fail: <70.0%
GRADE ADJUSTMENT POLICY Students who wish to appeal a rotation grade should follow the progression guidelines described at
http://faopharmacy.unc.edu/student-admin/office-of-student-affairs/student-handbook/
REMEDIATION POLICY
Remediation is not offered.
INCOMPLETE GRADE POLICY
Incomplete grades will be assigned when rotation assignments are not completed due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. prolonged illness, unexpected medical procedure required, family emergencies, etc.) but the student is capable/competent of passing the rotation. A preceptor should contact the Office of Experiential Education before the conclusion of the rotation to notify of “incomplete” status and provide rationale.
Incomplete grades must be resolved within the first 8 weeks of the following semester.
All incompletes must be resolved prior to being cleared for graduation.
COURSE FAILURE
A non-passing rotation grade will require a “make-up” rotation that is scheduled by the Office of Experiential Education. A “make-up” rotation will be scheduled at a different practice site and with a different preceptor. The failing grade is not removed from the student’s transcript.
Despite this course being Honors/Pass/Fail, a failing grade in this course will be incorporated in the GPA (4 hr credit).
PRECEPTOR ASSESSMENT / EXPERIENTIAL COURSE EVALUATION Students are required to complete the course/rotation evaluation in RxPreceptor one week following the completion of the rotation. Those not completing the evaluation will receive an “incomplete” grade for the course/rotation. This is a course requirement and a responsibility of all students completing a course. Student feedback is essential and highly valued in the School’s efforts to continually improve the quality of courses and the effectiveness of our faculty as educators. As a faculty, we can assure you that your feedback is reviewed in detail. The evaluations are taken very seriously by course directors and the School. In 2011, the School implemented new policies and procedures for course evaluations, which include specific guidance on how the findings are used by the School as a means of continued quality improvement. Students not completing the rotation evaluation in RxPreceptor within one week following the completion of the rotation will receive an “incomplete” grade for the course/rotation. All course evaluations are confidential and anonymous.
ATTENDANCE POLICY Preceptors acknowledge that extenuating circumstances occasionally occur that prevent attendance during rotation. At the discretion of the preceptor, an excused absence during one rotation period will be allowed as long as the objectives of the rotation are met. Any unexcused absence during the course of a rotation month must be made up in a way that meets with the preceptor’s approval. Failure to make up missed work will result in a grade of incomplete. Excused absences: Planned or unplanned absences are excused only under the following circumstances, which are beyond the control of the student:
Medical necessity refers to unpredictable or serious illness of the student or an immediate family member. Documentation, such as a physician letter, may be required at the request of the preceptor. Routine medical or dental visits do not meet this criterion. Students should schedule routine medical or dental visits at the end of the day to avoid missing a full day of rotation.
Bereavement Policy: An absence may be excused due to the death of a student's immediate family member (parent, child, spouse, grandparent, or sibling). Absences should not exceed a total
5
of 4 absences during the rotation month. Excused absences do not have to be made up; however, if the preceptor determines that the objectives of the rotation cannot be met as a result of the excused absences, the student should work out a way to make up missed time at the preceptor's convenience.
Participation in a pre-approved professional activity (i.e. activities of the School, local, state, or national pharmacy organizations) constitutes an excused absence provided the student informs the preceptor of the planned absence at the beginning of the rotation. Documentation of the professional activity is required. Work as an employee does NOT constitute participation in a professional activity. Events that PY4 students are encouraged to attend include the NCAP Annual Convention in October, Career Day which is typically scheduled in early November and the School’s Student Research Symposium in late spring.
Participation in Residency Interviews: It is understandable that students seeking residency training may have many interview dates from mid-January to the first week of March, with the majority occurring in February. The student must inform the preceptor of any planned interview(s) upon first contact with the preceptor prior to the start of the rotation, if at all possible, or immediately at the time the interview is scheduled if during the course of a rotation month. When possible, especially if more than 2 interviews are anticipated, students are encouraged to schedule interviews to occur over several rotations, so that the February rotation is not the only affected experience. For interviews during the same rotation month, students should attempt when possible to consolidate interview days and combine/arrange travel to minimize time away from rotation (for example, departing after the workday on rotation). Two days’ absence in one rotation month will be allowed without need for make-up time. Any additional days taken for residency interviews may have to be made up at the discretion of the preceptor. Documentation of scheduled interviews is required; this should be at least but is not limited to, per the preceptor’s prerogative, an email to the preceptor copied to the regional faculty member noting the location and dates required for the interview. Students cannot exceed a total of six days’ absence for residency interviews during a rotation month without prior approval from their local experiential faculty. Thus, in summary: up to 2 days absence/rotation for interviews will be excused; 3-6 days absence/rotation will be made up at the discretion of the preceptor; and more than 6 days absence/rotation need to be approved by the local experiential faculty member.
Other extenuating circumstances: The preceptor may, at his/her discretion, approve a request for an excused absence for other reasons. When possible, such requests should be made in writing at the beginning of the practice experience.
Excused absences for religious reasons: The Schools follows the University’s policy on excused absences for religious reasons (the policy can be found in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Student Handbook at http://faopharmacy.unc.edu/student-admin/office-of-student-affairs/student-handbook/#details-2-0).
Unexcused absences are absences from rotation for any reason not listed above. Absence Notification Policy: The student must contact the preceptor of an anticipated absence as early as possible prior to the absence. If circumstances prevent the student from providing prior notification, the student or his/her designate should contact the preceptor by phone first thing in the morning of the absence. Messages should include the student’s name, a brief summary of reason for absence, and anticipated date of return. The preceptor will determine whether the absence is excused or unexcused.
Inclement Weather Policy
In the event of adverse weather, student pharmacists should call their preceptor and follow the instructions of their preceptor. If there is concern about the preceptor’s instructions, student pharmacists should contact their local experiential faculty member immediately. If a student pharmacist does not feel that it is safe to travel, the preceptor should allow them to make up the time missed.
